Hi Gary,

I've been offline since I first joined the site. I forgot my credentials so had to register again. Please delete the username jojo and there is another keenan to be deleted, both associated with my jhgkeenan@telkomsa.net email.

I have a list of sightings currently in Excel format but easy enough to change
ZS-JDL CPT 01-Mar-15
HB-JRA CPT 01-Mar-15
ZS-DDT CPT 01-Mar-15
ZS-KGW CPT 01-Mar-15
3B-NBF CPT 01-Mar-15
ZU-LCY OTT 02-Mar-15
ZS-HLZ OTT 02-Mar-15
ZS-HBV OTT 02-Mar-15
ZS-JDE FASH 04-Mar-15
ZS-EES FASH 04-Mar-15
ZS-HBU FASH 04-Mar-15
ZS-TCV FASH 04-Mar-15
ZS-LEH FASH 04-Mar-15
Is it possible to get them all into the database at once? there are about 9500 entries.
Pleas let me know.
Just trawling down all the corrections you do makes me realise what a great job you do,
Cheers
Jo

Hi JoKeenan,

Right now there's no easy way to import from a spreadsheet, but it's something we will be looking to add in future.

For now, you can use the "Add Multiple Sightings" page to add more than one reg at once. If you can copy out the regs from the spreadsheet, you can paste them in here, and separate them by a comma, eg:

G-ABCD,G-DEFG,G-HIJK

etc.

It should automatically add most of them, but you may need to manually enter some of them (especially historic registrations).

Good luck, if you need any help, post in here, or email me at webmaster@taxiwayalpha.com

Hi Joe

Using "Add Multiple Sightings" you can cut and paste from Excel very easily, just remember to put a comma after each serial/registration.

I am part way through adding about 60,000 entries myself.

Good luck

George

When using add multiple beware of re-used REGs it will link to the active one only. you have delete and do a manual search and enter it that way. it caught me out several times. I have seen both D-ABEDs but when i entered mine it went to the actitive B733 not to the B731
